I haven't been around for a bit, and I'm sorry for that. I've been struggling with mental illness medication mishaps that have been really screwing with me and disrupting my life.

I'm taking a leave of absence because I'm going to be traveling for about a month and a half c: my wanderlust has built up over all this time of NOT traveling so now I'm exploding a bit, haha. (plus with how miserable mental health treatment has been lately, I kinda need it.) going to visit NJ and my hometown, see the last performance of Hedwig with my best friend, and then I have 36 hours between getting back and then leaving for JAPAN!!! I'm going for the very first time to see Un Nouveau Voyage!!! and because I'm a horrible loser, I'm going to go to all the still existing real locations from Sailor Moon in Azabu-Juuban, and go to the Sailor Moon Cafe at least twice! I'm so excited I could die haha <3 then two days after I get back, I go to Disneyland for a weekend, then the week after that I go to NYC Comic con!

I didn't have an announced LOA, but I fell off the face of the planet for most of September. I was dealing with back-to-back weekends of travel (@Addelyn I thought of you when driving along the QEW), work/community involvement responsibilities, and trying to balance time with my new boyfriend vs all other people in my life + internet things (like GC and the other forums I belong to).

So I've posted in every RP I'm in today and hope to appear more often again throughout the rest of the year and beyond.

Wire and battery problem. I will try to deal with is as soon as possible. Might be back tonight if lucky, in the middle of the week if not. I'm mobile but posting long things is a chore, so I'll be mostly lurking and answering private messages. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey, all! I will be on LOA until mid November(?). I have a lot to get done on a costume before the end of the month and need to put all of my energy into it. In addition, I must also focus more of my time toward writing essays/e-mails to potential graduate school programs. I will however drop by to lurk (and maybe leave a comment or two) during my breaks at work.

Once all of this is done, I plan to contribute more to the forum discussions. There are so many great ones that I'd love to participate in or create, but I just haven't had adequate time to do so.

EDIT: I should also mention that I will still be checking and answering PMs from work, so if anybody needs/wants to PM me about something please do not hesitate to do so!

I'm back and hopefully will be able to take some more time to fulfill my duties. So sorry about that. School has been kicking my butt especially with finals coming around the corner, but no worries. I'm back.
